I have a Lexar  512mb JumpDrive, and what I do from a terminal command 
line is sudo su, then enter my root password...Type umount /dev/sda1 and 
the Icon on the screen is removed...Now plugging it back in, it will 
detect the jumpdrive, and the icon shows back up...

Using eject does the same thing...

One or the other is all that is needed...
